NAME

       dump_sockdfr -  Display contents of frozen route file for SOCKS server

SYNOPSIS

       dump_sockdfr [infile]

DESCRIPTION

       dump_sockdfr  reads  in a frozen route file for the SOCKS server and produces a listing of
       its contents on the standard output.

       The argument is optional; if omitted, /etc/sockd.fr is assumed.

       The frozen route file is produced by make_sockdfr and is essentially the memory  image  of
       the  parsed  route  file. Using the frozen route file can reduce the start-up delay of the
       SOCKS server program since it no longer has to parse the file contents.

       When the SOCKS server starts, it always looks for  the  frozen  route  file  /etc/sockd.fr
       first.  If  that  file  is  not  found,  it  then  tries  to use the plain-text route file
       /etc/sockd.route. If you use frozen route file, you  must  remember  to  run  make_sockdfr
       every  time  after you modify the plain-text file or the SOCKS server will continue to use
       the frozen version of a previous route file.

FILES

       /etc/sockd.fr, /etc/sockd.route
